According to some info received by Engadget, about Huawei Ascend Mate 2 android phone photos. Now I suppose on a 6.1″ display maybe it would make more sense just to fit more on the screen but in general I would gladly take a 720 display on a 5″ phone and the extra battery life rather than go to a 1080 screen and worse battery life and no appreciable difference in quality.

The Ascend Mate 2 will have a 6.1-inch 1280×720 pixel screen, a quad-core 1.5GHz K3V2 processor, 16GB of storage, and 2GB of RAM, Android 4.2.2 with Emotion UI.

Fyi, Huawei is not a cheap Chinese company that makes clone phones, Huawei is a Chinese company that makes premium phones.
